Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Сэмюэл Тэйлор Кольридж)

What Is Life?

Resembles Life what once was held of Light,
Too ample in itself for human sight?
An absolute Self--an element ungrounded--
All, that we see, all colours of all shade
[Image]By encroach of darkness made?--
Is very life by consciousness unbounded?
And all the thoughts, pains, joys of mortal breath,
A war-embrace of wrestling Life and Death? 

1. Home-Sick. Written In Germany
2. Duty Surviving Self-Love, the Only Sure Friend of Declining Life
3. To a Lady, Offended by a Sportive Observation That Women Have No Souls
4. To the Autumnal Moon
5. The Picture, Or The Lover's Resolution

John Clare (Джон Клэр) What Is Life? ("And what is Life? An hour-glass on the run")
